* The food's nicer
* Seats are better (compared with QF's 744 J/C seats)- they lie flat, and have more padding than QF's
* IFE is better; 15 inch, higher resolution displays, you can use your own standard headphones without the silly adaptor, more content than the QF 744, seems to crash less than the QF 744 IFE, and they've got live cockpit VHF COM audio
* UA use NZ's lounge in Sydney, which has a better fitout, food selection and drink availablity than the QF business lounge, which QF have been cutting back progressively over the years.
* Domestic connections from LAX leave from the terminal immediately next door to where you arrived. As opposed to with QF, where you arrive at the war zone generally known as TBIT, wander outside and then find your way to whichever distant terminal you need to be at for your connection.
* Cabin crew are generally very good on both sides, you always have the occasional exception though.
Though I suppose, what would AJ know about having a premium product? The likes of the Orange Cancer are more his thing
